Pakistan Must Complete the Whitewash To Move Up In the World Rankings

Behind controversial Captain Azhar Ali, Pakistan stand one win away from moving up to the eighth spot in the ICC world ODI rankings, the last spot guaranteed to gain automatic qualification for the 2019 Cricket World Cup in England. Of course, Pakistan would have to hold that position, or move up, until the end of September of next year.

That might prove difficult, however considering that Pakistan have only five more ODI matches on the schedule in that time, all five of them in Australia against the reigning World Cup champions and world’s top-ranked team.

But first, Pakistan must register a sixth straight victory over West Indies on the current UAE tour. Pakistan opened the tour by blanking West Indies 3-0 in the T20 format — a noteworthy accomplishment given that the Windies are the current T20 World Cup champions.

Not only that, but West Indies was coming off a victory in an August two-match T20 series win over India that was held in Florida. Of course, the second of those two matches was washed out by the south Florida rains, but the win was seen as affirmation of West Indies status as a world power in the T20 game. But that elation was crushed by Pakistan.

Pakistan will certainly be looking for more from their skipper, who was dismissed leg before wicket by his West Indies opposite number Jason Holder for only nine runs in the second ODI. The crowd in Sharjah, site of that match, let out an audible cheer when Ali was dismissed — and not because they were all West Indies fans.

“It takes time to improve things,” Ali said last week. “You need patience to lift a team. We started the rebuilding process after the 2015 World Cup and it takes one-and-a-half to two years, so we are going towards that.”

Babar Azam will be chasing his third consecutive 100 in the third ODI, after putting 123 runs on the scoreboard in the second match.

Pakistan will be missing pacer Mohammad Amir, who has left the team to attend to his mother, who is ill. Amir is expected back in time for the first Test match, which will be a pink-ball, day-night affair in Dubai.
